Two people have been arrested after deputies checked all 42 registered sex offenders living in Jasper County, Georgia, during a county-wide compliance operation.
Amber Arnold and Courtlee Taner were detained following residency and employment checks carried out by the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office under Operation Watchful Eye.
Investigators said both were accused of multiple violations of the Georgia Sexual Offender Registry. The specific requirements they allegedly breached have not been disclosed.
The sheriff’s office has also not released the dates of the arrests or said whether further warrants or charges are expected as a result of the operation.
Officials said the checks were intended to verify that registered offenders were living and working where declared and meeting their legal registration obligations.
“Our community’s safety is always at the forefront of what we do,” the sheriff’s office said. “We will continue working to ensure registered offenders are following the law and meeting their registration requirements.”
Residents have been encouraged to consult the Jasper County sex offender registry and keep up to date with registered offenders living in their area.
